The mud flap brackets are galvanized.

I love it that you made the first batch out of galvinized stock or at least my 3 sets.

Theres 10 sets there. 3 for you and supposedly the other 7 are spoken for. Cheapest rust prevention option. At least theyll last as long as the truck...

Yay! Deal! That'll probably have to wait a month or so. I need to cut em out of my junk xj too.

I have the floor braces too by the way. There is a driver side drilled out in the back of that blue 88 swb you walked by it last time and we can drill out the spot welds on the rusty red rocket. It will be soo much fun!

The white swb frame I gave you is an 86 by the way. If I can ever get to the other 1 up north its an 88 for comparison swb as well.

I have an 88,90 and my blue 91 sitting next to that frame. I'll have to see how it compares to the 86 long bed. But black Betty is an EARLY 86.

Brandon, I have a good set of factory rockers and cab corners if you need some to copy. I may be in your area in a few weeks, we'll have to work something out!

You are more that welcome to them, as long as I get them back at some point. I'm very interested in what you come up with for rockers!!

[krustyballer16]

I know I can't do the very corner of the cab corner, the rounded part. But i can do the flat section just above that

And ya, rockers might be tricky. Maybe not. I'll have to see what the engineers at work say.

I purchased a driver's side rocker panel from Z&M Jeep a few years ago at the York Jeep show.  I have not used it yet.  I have held it up against the original.  It looks about right.

 

I can post a picture later.

 

(However, if it matches the way a bed side panel I purchased previously did, I may have a nice piece of scrap metal.)

They're not anywhere close lol.
I bought one from them for my blue truck.
Them, C2C and another company all don't fit at all. So I cut em up and made my own

That's what I thought (and was afraid of) from prior experience.  

 

I guess I will pound that sword into a plowshare.

Brandon,

 

If you make the rockers and/or cab corners, put me down for each side.

Do you need OEM mud flaps to run with these brackets?  Or, can you trim any piece of rubber to the right shape and bolt them to the bracket?  

[krustyballer16]

These are copies of factory brackets. You can trim a piece of whatever to fit em. I may send a pattern of a factory one on paper with them just for people that don't have factory flaps

MJ REAR splash guards

 

 

[DesertRat1991]

Great info!  Def looks like you could trim a universal mud flap to work with these. Thanks. 

[HOrnbrod]

I don't think they look so hot, but they do a good job preventing road debris from scratching up the lower rear fender.

I much prefer using front mud flaps and modifying them. Doesn't hurt that the factory front XJ flaps are still obtainable. But at least the brackets will be around for those who want them.
